Remove photos already imported into iphoto using several libraries

Hello

I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 and due to the large amount of photos that I take and trying to stay organized, I have multiple iPhoto libraries. I'm in a situation where I have pictures on a card of the camera, which belong to two different libraries. When I opened one, I see all of the available import photos (as I have never imported it none of them, but want to import some of them). When I opened another library, I see some already imported and some available import (as I already imported some). At this point, I want to delete only on the map, those that were imported, so that when I open the first library, the only photos showing import, are those who are new and have never been imported in the previous library. A bit complicated, I know, but I will not reproduce in several libraries. So my question... when I see the line of photos already imported into iPhoto, is there a way to select and iPhoto just delete them camera card? I tried, but I can't seem to make it happen. If not, does anyone have another suggestion how to proceed (if all goes well simply), making sure that I don't accidentally lose pictures?

Thank you very much in advance for any help

It's complicated! How many photos are on the map? To really have control, I would probably want to delete the photos using the finder. But for this, you have to have a master list of what to get rid from that should be kept. I think you want to close iPhoto before deleting anything.

Fat Cat Software has a program called iPhoto Library Manager that really made these much easier questions for me. He made comparing libraries and move photos between libraries much easier. I don't think that you can use for your problem exactly, but you would be able to load it all into a library to be sure you had everything and then move or copy photos as needed. I recommend it if you plan to keep this multiple configuration of the library. http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iPLM/

  • Imported into iPhoto and now have duplicates of each photo

    I am a new user of Lightroom. I imported my photos to Lightroom from iPhoto last week. I have no idea how or why it happened, but somehow, I have two copies of each photo in Lightroom. No one knows why it happened, and how can I fix?

    Yes moving images will break the links to the catalog. If you want to move or rename, always do it in the LR library and the changes will be automatically updated on your hard drive.

    I would say by dragging the masters to the images folder. Then import these files/sub-sub-sub-folders using import > Add

    Then you can trash all masters and copies used by iPhoto.

    A question of "stupid":

    Have you disabled - top right of the import dialog box?

    It should be checked when you do not want "old" photos to import again.

  • I can't find the library of Photos to import into Lightroom 6 apples.

    In the sources of importation on LR6, there no pictures option to select.  I had the opening, then imported this photo library a few weeks back.  Hated the photo and now wants to use LR6.  But no Photos available for import library... Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can export your photos from the Photos app. There is a point under file - export - export original unmodified. After that you can import them from the file system in LR.

  • Add new layers Photoshop file already imported into After Effects?

    Hi... for a .psd with say 10 layers imported into After Effects I would add a layer 11.  How to import this 11 layer in After Effects?

    Sorry for the basic question, thank you!

    You can do this:

    1. go to file > import.

    2. Select the same PSD file you have already imported as a Composition.

    3. still in the import dialog box, select import as "Footage", not as "Composition".

    4. in the next dialog box, AE asking you if you want to import the PSD as 'merged layers"(not what you want) or if you want to choose a specific layer in the PSD (see image below). Choose this option and simply select the new layer. That's all.

  • Can I delete photos on my iPhone after them have been imported into iPhoto library?

    Hello!

    It is at this time of the year when you wanted to take pictures of summer vacation right on your iphone, but you found out that you have less than 500 MB of memory space. Well, it's happened to me.

    I imported my iPhone on my Macbook iPhoto pictures, and I would like to delete these photos on my iPhone. I would like to know if I could do it in iPhoto or iTunes.

    In addition, it would be possible for me to re - upload photos from iPhoto to my iPhone?

    Kind regards

    TL

    Assuming you are using iPhoto and not the new Photos.app, Yes.

    You can bulk delete via Capture of Image (in the Applications folder)

    Create a picture Album that you want on the phone and you can share them on the phone via iTunes.

    Similar goods are available with Photos.app and photo library to iCloud, but work in different ways.

  • Could not find iPhoto/Photos to import into Lightroom

    Hi-

    I'm new to Lightroom. I downloaded the creative Amazon Cloud literally last night. When I click on the "Import" button, it evokes the access to the essentially all of the files on my computer with the exception of the pictures that have been uploaded to iPhoto/photos for October 2015. I tried all means to find a link to these photos, and it's as if they don't exist to Lightroom. Outside of Lightroom, I noticed now that when I look at 'Images' in my Finder window, there are all my old photos (before 10/2015) and a file called "iPhoto library" and a file called "photo library". None of these files can be opened from the finder. If the photo is opened, all the images are there.

    I feel like there is something corrupt going on behind the scenes that is bad orientation of my photos. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Right-click on the photo library, and then select "view the contents of the package. What happens will be many subfolders. One of them will be named Masters. There you will find all your images. But LR cannot access it from this file/folder of the package. You will need to copy or move the Masters folder to another location on your hard drive for LR to see.

    Hi jackdevant,

    It might be possible that the image names are identical, this is the reason why you are not able to import images into Lightroom.

    Please check if the names are the same or not?

  • Import photos already imported previously

    I use Windows 7 and had previously imported photos from my camera.  Something happened with my computer and now I want to import the photos again, but it won't let me because they had previously been imported.   How do I change the setting so I can re-import these photos?

    I use Windows 7 and had previously imported photos from my camera.  Something happened with my computer and now I want to import the photos again, but it won't let me because they had previously been imported.   How do I change the setting so I can re-import these photos?

    =============================================
    Two possibilities:

    (1) renaming or deleting the following file:
    'PreviouslyAcquired.db '.

    expected photos to download again.

    Find the file in the following location:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Photo
    Acquisition\PreviouslyAcquired.DB

    Rename: PreviouslyAcquired.OLD

    If you can't find the file, you may need to change your
    settings for 'show hidden files '.

    In Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Reach... Button start / Control Panel / appearance
    and customization / Folder Options / Advanced
    settings / display files, folders, and disks / OK

    Now, find and rename the file.

    Try to re - import your photos.

    (2) connect the camera to the PC via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Close all windows that can be opened.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

  • How to display without import it, because they were already imported into lightroom 5 images on my hard drive in lightroom

    I want to see the photos on my hard drive that have already been imported to lightroom.  Problem is when I open lightroom with the images that they are treated as an import and are not visible to be worked.

    The 'Haze' indicates that you use the import command to display your images. You do not have it to display images or 'open' - Import is for saving the photos in the catalog/library. Therefore, close this import - dialog box there is a Cancel button.

    You are now in the normal window of Lightroom. Press G to go on the grid, open the folders Panel in the library and the use of the library filter (Ctrl F on Windows or Cmf F on Mac).

  • Photo sharing in new iphoto using Gmail?

    After updating to the latest version of iphoto (v.1.0.1) last month, I can no longer share photos using Gmail.  I don't want to use the Apple mail program to share the photos as it crashes whenever I try to open it. Can someone help, I work on a Macbook Pro with OSX Yosemite. Thank you!  Michelle

    This isn't iPhoto it's pictures, a completely different application.

    Gmail is a messaging service that access you using an application any - whether it's Apple Mail another customer of email or a web browser, so what app do you use?

    How are you trying to share?

  • Why are all my black rotating photos to import into lightroom?

    I have been using Lightroom for over a year now and I have about 15 000 + photos. I have not had problems to import until the last update, I did. Since this recent update, when I import my card or my external hard drive, the images don't appear, then a start to disappear. I watch as the histogram developing passes from the original information to all black. I'm so confused, and I lost a whole evening time I desperately need editing. Everyone knows this? I'm working on a new Mac and using Creative Cloud Lightroom.

    Thank you
